Reply to comment by machado34 in Brazil's electoral court rejects Bolsonaro election challenge by vitorgrs
This system for the quotient for the congressman ejections creates some bizarre situations of a hugely popular candidate in a small party electing a bunch of people without popular votes.
Using the same example. If one candidate have 350k, and three more have 17k they will be elected... 401k votes, 4 seats, one with 350 votes, 3 with 17k votes.
Historically we are very "candidate centric" rather than "party centric" for the elections. Only this year the "social media polarization" (echo chambers) created in the Right the ideia that the "Liberal Party" was the saviors because they are with Bolsonaro... Lots of votes based on the "I'm Bolsonaro's choice for this region". The party is a joke, every time in the top of the wall waiting the decision of the winner to take actions.
